Pistons-Bulls Preview

Ben Gordon has probably been looking forward to facing the Chicago Bulls since signing with the Detroit Pistons over the summer. A sprained ankle, though, could prevent that from happening Wednesday night.

Gordon hopes to be able to play against his former team for the first time as the Pistons visit the Bulls.

Drafted third overall by Chicago in 2004, Gordon led the Bulls in scoring the past four seasons but said in July that they never offered him a contract once he hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent. Detroit signed him to a five-year deal worth $50-plus million.

"I mean they didn't pursue me at all. They didn't even make an offer so it was pretty much a one-man race," Gordon told ESPN Radio 1000 in Chicago in July.

He got off to a strong start with Detroit (6-11) before getting hurt against Cleveland last Wednesday, averaging a team-high 19.8 points. Gordon missed the last two games, but practiced Monday and is listed as questionable.

"It's feeling pretty good," Gordon told the Pistons' official Web site. "If it continues to progress the way it has been, hopefully I'll be able to play on Wednesday."

The Bulls (6-9) could have used Gordon's scoring on their annual circus road trip. They opened the trip with a 101-87 win over Sacramento on Nov. 17 before dropping the last five matchups.

Chicago failed to score more than 100 in any of the five defeats while allowing opponents to average 109.2 points.

The Bulls had their best defensive effort since the win over the Kings on Monday night. They rallied from 14 down in the third quarter to take a two-point lead in the closing minutes, but Brad Miller missed a shot at the buzzer that would have tied it and Chicago fell 99-97.

"That's a shot I've shot a lot," Miller told the Bulls' official Web site. "It just came up short. ... It's well in my range. I felt comfortable. Just didn't make it. Now we've got to take advantage of these home games coming up and get back on the winning ways."

Chicago plays 16 of its next 23 at the United Center before heading out on a season-high seven-game trip at the end of January. The Bulls have played the fewest home games in the league, going 4-1 and holding opponents to 86.8 points per game.

"I know how hard it is from last year to get back to .500," point guard Derrick Rose said. "We've got to take advantage."

The Bulls' first chance to get on track comes against a Pistons team that ended a seven-game losing streak by beating Atlanta 94-88 on Sunday.

Detroit was led by another former Bull, Ben Wallace, who had 11 of the team's 24 offensive rebounds. Wallace, traded to Cleveland in February 2008 after spending a season and a half with Chicago, finished with 18 rebounds and 10 points.

"Ben was phenomenal again today," coach John Kuester said. "It's amazing the level that he is still grabbing rebounds."

Wallace led the NBA in rebounding twice in his first stint in Detroit, averaging 13.0 in 2001-02 and 15.4 in '02-'03. He has started every game this season, grabbing 9.9 boards per contest.

Wallace's strong play is coming at a good time for the Pistons, who have been playing with a limited roster because of injuries to starters Richard Hamilton (ankle), Tayshaun Prince (back) and Gordon (ankle).

On Sunday, forward Charlie Villanueva was hit in the face while being fouled and suffered a broken nose. He is listed as questionable for Wednesday.

Chicago took three of four meetings with Detroit in each of the last three seasons, winning all six matchups at home.

Bulls ruin Gordon's Chicago return, end five-game slide

By Kent McDill, for NBA.com

CHICAGO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Chicago Bulls returned home Wednesday from their two-week, seven-game road trip and got what they needed.

After going 1-6 on the circus trip, the Bulls took advantage of a crippled Detroit Pistons team, scoring a wire-to-wire 92-85 victory that ended their five-game losing streak.

The Bulls also maintained their position as one of the best home teams in the league through the first few weeks of the season. Their 5-1 home mark ranks just below Phoenix's unbeaten home record and leaves them tied with Atlanta and Denver as the only teams with one home loss.

The Bulls play 10 more home games in December.

"We've had some games that we could have won, should have won, could have won,'' Bulls guard John Salmons said. "Now we have to take advantage of all these upcoming home games."

The final score Wednesday might indicate it was a tighter game than it was. The Pistons got no closer than nine points in the final quarter until the final minute.

The game marked the return of guard Ben Gordon, in two different ways. He returned to the Pistons lineup after missing two games with a left ankle sprain. It also marked Gordon's first return to Chicago after spending the first five years of his career with the Bulls, who chose not to re-sign him last summer.

Gordon's first appearance in the game came with 7:07 remaining in the first quarter, and he was greeted by both boos and applause.

"It was boos, so I wasn't surprised,'' Gordon said. "I kind of expected that, seeing past players come back after going to another team. It's not like I won a championship while I was here. I just had a couple of good years so I wasn't surprised at all."

"The fans respect what he did here, but he is with the Pistons now,'' Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said.

The Pistons (6-12) needed Gordon back, not only because he is their leading scorer but also because they continue to play without Richard Hamilton (ankle sprain) and Tayshaun Prince (ruptured disc in back). The two veterans have played only four games combined this season.

Also out Wednesday was forward Charles Villanueva, who suffered a broken nose in the Pistons' win over Atlanta Sunday. He is expected to play in the Pistons' next game Friday against Milwaukee.

Gordon finished with 18 points but made only 6-of-16 shots and was in foul trouble much of the game.

Salmons led the Bulls (7-9) with 22 points, making 7-of-12 shots. Derrick Rose had 19 points and Joakim Noah kept up his rebounding performance with a game-high 14 boards.

The teams entered the game as two of the worst field goal shooting teams in the league, with the Pistons ranking 22nd and the Bulls ranking 27th. But the Pistons were stone cold in the first quarter, and made only two jump shots in the first 12 minutes, including Gordon's first points at the 1:07 mark of the period.

The Bulls weren't much better, making only three jumpers in the first quarter on the way to a 24-10 lead.

Detroit's second team outplayed Chicago's second team in the second quarter, getting 24 points from backups Gordon, Will Bynum, Kwame Brown, Chris Wilcox and Austin Daye. The Bulls led by 10 at the half and might have been a bit of a disappointment for the home team, considering the way the game started and the general health of the visiting team.

The Bulls were also limited to an eight-man rotation with guard Kirk Hinrich still out with a sprained left thumb. Tyrus Thomas remained out rehabbing his fractured arm. Center Aaron Gray, who has missed 13 games with a left fibula stress fracture, dressed but did not play.

With Hinrich out, veteran guard Lindsey Hunter again had to play 11 minutes. He committed four fouls and missed his only shot.

Perhaps the Pistons felt the Bulls were going to let them stick around, because they came out with more of a purpose in the second half. When Jason Maxiell stole an inbounds pass for a 3-point play, the Pistons cut the Bulls' lead to three points, 50-47.

The Bulls built their lead back to double-digits quickly behind seven points from Rose and Salmons, and led 74-57 just before the end of the third quarter.

If there was a benefit for the Pistons Wednesday, it was in the play of their second team, led by Gordon's performance. The backups outscored the starters 52-33, with Bynum contributing 10 points and a team-high seven assists.

The Bulls go back on the road Friday when they return to Cleveland, which was the site of their biggest win of the season, an 86-85 upset win over the Cavaliers back on Nov. 5.

"They will be waiting for us,'' Del Negro said.
